Quoting Jonathan Leighton <turnip@...355...>:
Inkscape has extended SVG a bit to add information used by the program -- as a result "Inkscape SVG" won't be entirely valid SVG, whereas "Plain SVG" will, but you'll lose the data that Inkscape is able to use (I think it's things like layers but I don't know for sure).
"Inkscape SVG" is standards-conforming (the standard permits these kinds of extensions), just not "pure SVG".
The document should render identically with or without the inkscape extensions; they only give Inkscape hints how to treat things in the UI -- for example, whether to treat a given group as a layer, or whether path nodes are cusp/flat/whatever.
